2016 will be the 100 anniversary of composer, organize and pianist Max Reger's death. On this occasion, Bernhad Buttmann will record the complete organ works on CD in cooperation with the Bavarian Broadcasting Corporation. Volume I includes the early works of Reger.

American Record Guide, November/December 2013Bernhard Buttmann has been the music director of St Sebald's Church in Nuremberg since 2002. He is also much in demand as a recitalist and organ consultant. His playing here is highly impressive, in that it flows well and shows a keen sense of formal purpose and tautness. Buttmann's coherent and keenly directional playing, together with outstanding instruments and exemplary recorded sound, I enjoyed these discs far more than I expected to.
